  (15 reviews)
Best Price: $6.67
From shapely abs to the "Pilates Powerhouse," core strengthening has become the main focus for today's exercise enthusiasts. Now, Ultimate Core Ball Workout takes core training to a higher level with its on-the-ball variations of traditional mat exercises.
The unique benefits of ball training enable the program in Ultimate Core Ball Workout to produce better results in less time. Any crunch will work the abs, but this book's crunch on the ball simultaneously engages the stabilizing muscles of the abdomen and lower body, working more muscle and producing a more sculpted midsection faster. The exercises outlined in this book are suitable for all levels, from beginner to fitness professional, and the photo sequences and clearly written captions teach proper techniques.
Offering more than just good-looking abs, the program in Ultimate Core Ball Workout produces numerous health and fitness benefits, including a stronger, more supportive back, improved posture, better performance in sports, and even more enjoyable sex. Plus, each exercise is presented with tips and modifications to increase the challenge so readers can continue to improve and get stronger over time.

Excellent beginner's book
By ADA16TWLAPNX2 on 2005-09-22
Having had a little exposure to doing a workout with an exercise ball, I was looking for something I could use on my own at home. This book is thoughtfully written, clear about what to focus on and concise about how to progress from level to level without injury. As a former dancer I really appreciated the instructions for alignment, and would recommend this book to anyone who is a beginner in this type of workout.
Great Starting Point For Newbies

As a pro trainer, I am very fond of books that are helpful to the fitness beginner.
If you are just starting out and interested in a good program utilizing the exercise ball, then this book is one you will want to add to your fitness library.
Great variations with good progression plan.

Shook me to my CORE
By A2C0JKIWP55CY3 on 2005-07-07
Forget everything you THOUGHT you knew about core training: this book will blow you away. No gimmicks, no empty promises, no cheats. Just an ON THE BALL workout for those of you who are serious about getting in shape.
In an area where precious few GREAT books have been written (with all due respect to Colleen Craig and James Milligan), I finally have something to recommend to my clients. A familiar face to those of us in the fitness industry, Ms. Detz FINALLY brings some of the best kept secrets in pliometrics to the masses.
Ultimate Core Ball Workout will send your body into the stratosphere and personal trainers to the unemployment line.
Great Advice From A True Pro
By AAC600TY30DGR on 2005-07-06
I've had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Detz in person at her last book signing, and I can tell you that she's the real deal, and this book is her forumula for success!
This is not one of those books whipped out by some writer with no first hand knowledge of the exercises they teach. Ms. Detz is a fitness guru who practices what she preaches and more. Every one of these exercises has been tested in the field and proven to work!
If you are serious about your abs, this is the book to get!
The new CORE of my workout.
By A67QDWY22TVP5 on 2005-07-06
If you're looking for a hardCORE workout, this is definitely the one for you. Ms. Detz does a masterful job of establishing an easy to follow, well organized guide to strengthening abs, and toning your core from top to bottom, and oblique to oblique.
- Purchased for Exercise Ball Class
By A2P0WIHMK82T1P on 2007-05-09
I am a certified group fitness instructor. I purchased this book in order to prepare to teach a weekly one-hour exercise ball class. This book is excellent because it offers information about progression (the order in which to perform specific exercises). It also offers suggestions for "5-minute total core blasts," if you have limited time on a particular day. The descriptions and photos provide all of the details you need to get started...and get a great core workout. I definitely recommend this book.
- In the Exercise profession
By A20BYL6II6Q9Z9 on 2007-04-04
I am a physical therapist. I utilize core strengthening with all of my low back pained patients. With a strong core, you decrease you risk of low back injury greatly. This book was very helpful to me since I have all kinds of patients at different stages of rehab. This book has tons of beginner, moderate and advanced exercises that I can use with all my patients.
- Get in shape!
By A18AW14NE61NOT on 2007-05-15
I knew little about training with a physio ball -- and I'm glad I got this book. The exercises in here are useful and they are suitable for all levels of fitness. They are organized in ways that make it easy to create your own routine. I've photocopied pages and taken them to the gym and shared them with others who were equally delighted with the book (and I hope they bought it, too!).
- Good Work Out
By A288WETL71IU3U on 2006-03-20
I love this book. I gives alot of different levels for beginners to advance style moves to do. Most DVD programs gives too much advance levels to you will give up on. Do it your on pace, then findin' the remote to the pause button.
- Detailed instructional core book
By A2WEW0OI6FD2ZJ on 2007-08-31
